Wash your hands say yeah

It is Friday of what is a holiday weekend for most folks, and there is apocalypse on the Gulf Coast. But if you came here for a break from heartbreak, you may enjoy knowing, as I learned from WFMU's Beware of the Blog that it is National Food Safety Education Month. Slogan: "Keep your hands clean with good hygene." Some say not the best slogan of all time-- "keep hands clean" sounds more like "avoid culpability" than "wash your hands." It does remind me of a couple of favorites:WASH YOUR HANDS A BUNCH, AND THEY WON'T LOSE THEIR LUNCHAnd variously altered in an NYC restaurant bathroom, (possibly Thebes)? EMPLOYEES MUST WASH HAND And, possibly more ominously:EMPLOYEE MUST WASH HANDDo share your own favorites in the comments before you hop on the jitney, and this weekend, like William DeVaughan says, Be thankful_for_what_you_got.
